STIPEND PAY

The leader roles pay the total stipend amount listed above in the “Stipend” column. The stipend amount is subject to all taxes and regular withholdings as required by law. The stipend amount will be divided in equal parts and paid to the employee once-a-month month for the duration of the role. For example, a person in an 11-month position will receive 1/11 of the stipend amount on each paycheck, assuming the leader remains in the role for the duration of the 11-month school year. 

If a leader goes on leave or leaves work for any other reason, they will earn a pro-rata share of the stipend amount for the time worked. Also, if a leader goes on leave or leaves work for any other reason, this position may be filled by another member either in the interim or for the duration of the role, depending on the current needs of the position, the school, and the timing of the leave. 

If a leader accepts and moves into a different position with Ingenium in which the regular job responsibilities encompass the leadership role responsibilities (e.g., administration, TOSA, etc.), then the leader will receive the salary corresponding to the new role and will no longer receive the stipend amount, but will be paid a pro-rata share for the days already worked in the leadership role.

PARTICIPATION REQUIREMENTS

Participation in the leader roles requires active and full participation. Specifically, leaders must attend all specified meetings, assigned professional development sessions, and designated work sessions. Leaders must also abide by general professional guidelines, such as attending meetings on time and completing work by required deadlines. Employees who do not meet participation expectations may be removed from their roles.
